As a textbook for teaching use the latest Brusca "Invertebrates" published earlier this year is reliable, and up to date, apart from the things not yet stable or very new. The  Annelids were revised by Greg Rouse.

It's a very long time since I bought an invert text book, but I bought this one.  It even has a pretty polynoid on the front cover.

Publisher http://www.sinauer.com/invertebrates-816.html

Can be bought new, I think cheaper than at publisher, via searching Abe books.

Subject: [Annelida] Current state of Annelida Taxonomy

Dear friends and colleagues,

I received a request from a Dr Paul Humphries who teaches invertebrate
zoology at Charles Sturt University in Sydney. He is confused about
currently accepted classification of Annelida and is looking for some
suggestions what most recent review papers/books he should consult.

Here is what he says:


"I am interested in papers that review the taxonomy of the Annelida. Mainly
I would like to know about the Class and Order level, especially within the
Sedentaria, although the Errantia would be useful as well. Understanding
how leeches fit into the Clitellata would be great too.  At present, the
textbook that we use is confusing"

Obviously, I have my own list of favourites, but I would appreciate if you
share yours with me. I will collate all responses re what we collectively
think the annelid taxonomy look like.

Wormly,

Lena
